Star Wars - Shadow of Rebellion

Jax didn't bother looking into the street to see the carnage. He heard the LAAT explode from the Tie's cannon fire, and he knew there wasn't anyone that could have made it out alive. The four men exchanged horrified and confused looks for several long moments.

His comm-link crackled to life as Bantha's squad leader reported in. Still no word from Maw, who were supposed to have deployed at the mines with Jax's team, but at least someone was still alive on this god-forsaken planet. "This is Jedi. The LAAT is destroyed, only four of us are left. We cannot hold the objective and are breaking contact." Jax answered before turning to the others.

"We're pulling out. You two-" He nodded to the two covering the opposite side of the building facing away from the LAAT wreckage "-we clear to move?"
"This street seems clear." The rebel answered. Jax nodded. "Alright, you move, we'll cover." He positioned himself on the corner, dropping to a low crouch. One of the rebels stood over top of him, and the others got ready to move.

"Bounding." The rebel said, and leapt out into the street. Jax and the other rebel leaned out from cover, quickly scanning the buildings with their weapons raised. After a few moments, they heard the runner shout "Set!" and the next man prepared to move. The team crossed the open street one by one without incident, likely because the Imperials were too busy recovering from the rebel CAS and regrouping. The team cautiously moved through alleyways and across open streets for a few blocks before stopping at a nondescript house sitting on an empty, small street.

"Sorry about this." Jax muttered mostly to himself after he ordered his men to stack up on the entrance. He rapped his knuckles on the door, and waited. A minute passed before door slid open, and the rebels burst inside, shoving a startled man out of the way. Jax swept a his rifle across the room, making sure it was clear.

"Anyone else inside this home?" He asked the man as the rest of the team secured the room. The man hesitantly nodded, "M-my wife..." he answered shakily. Jax nodded. "Alright. You're going to be fine," He turned to his comrades, "Secure the rest of the house, be careful you don't shoot his wife, and make sure they can't contact anyone." He took out his comm-link.

"This is Jedi. We're inside a civilian home. Holding here for now." He reported before collapsing into a nearby chair. He hadn't been on the planet for long, and already was feeling exhausted and beat to hell.

Well, you could investigate your current jobs, find new ones, or just go do something else.

Raddum just came up with it and I played along.

Stars Without Number RP

Yep.

Psst...Dataslabs are 300 credits, Compads are 100.

I'm not an Expert or anything

Heh..heh...I see whatcha did there...

It's fine, but if you plan on making "quests" like this in the future, run it by me beforehand. Anyway, if you want to make a Computers roll and PM it to me or post it in OOC, we shall see what happens. (If you use your expert ability to re-roll a skill check, give me both rolls.)

Personally, I'm not expecting anything like that out of you. I'm just doing what Clyde would be doing. Chilling out and wasting some time while the ship is being repaired. At the moment he doesn't have the same access to job offers as Senth and E, so he's just doing his own thing until the ship's all ready to go. Then he can regroup with the others and pretty much roll with any job that flies their way, helping where he can. Since he's probably going to be a very squishy character combat-wise, I'll be looking to focus more on skills that can support and help away from combat so others with better combat abilities and stats can take the lead. This also means Clyde in general is more of a supporting character; He's pretty much only good for flying the ship at the moment. So you probably won't be seeing much from him unless he finds something minor to do himself, the others are ready to go, or he manages to find an interesting job while scurrying about that he'll pitch to his teammates. (I rarely get ideas that I actually like myself, so that might not even happen. Maybe I'm too harsh on myself concerning my ideas at times, but meh, I won't get into that or I'll sound like a whiny baby. >_>)I'll try and have him do something by himself in my next post so I don't start seeming like dead weight. Maybe some computer-related issue in the store he's in front of, considering that one point in Computer he has.For now though, I've got to go do a few things IRL. So expect that tonight, probably.

I understand that you can't do much, and I'm not trying to be like "Hey! Do something!" I'm just trying to let you guys know that I can't really post until there is an NPC, enemy, or event for me to control, so you guys keep doing stuff/posting until I'm needed.

Well, I realized something, I have nothing to post. The point of Stars Without Number is that the players are in control. I'm not going to have a wise old man show up at the door of your ship and say "You must save the galaxy, for you are the chosen ones." I'm waiting on you guys to do something, whether that be look into the job offers you have, look for new offers, go to a different planet, assassinate a politician, etc. Running a ship and living costs money, and while it's completely fine if you decide to do nothing, eventually you're going to run out of money. Think of it like GTA or another open world game: you can choose to stand in a corner and do nothing, but then exactly that will happen, absolutely nothing. If you want new jobs, you are going to go looking for new jobs.

I'm sorry if this sounded rude, aggressive, or something along those lines. This was basically just me saying I can't post because all my post would say is "Time passes as two of you nap on a ship and the third is wandering the city with no way of communicating with the others." I'm can't really post until there is something for me to post about.

As for the criminal work thing, that sounds interesting.

Stars Without Number RP

"E" is not amused by the job requests.

I know none of you have Culture/Criminal, but would your ship or previous captain have a reputation for doing less than legal work? If so I can throw some of that in.

Stars Without Number RP

Looks fine. Unless you guys wish to discuss something or post again, I'll start typing a post. If you do wish to converse, it might be a good Idea to PM each other what you say and then have one of you post the conversation, rather than a ton of short posts. (Or it's a terrible idea. One of the two.)
